Senior Engineering Manager - Discovery

About the role

The Discovery Experience team at Faire sits at the intersection of search, evaluate, and personalization — shaping how retailers find the products they love. Our mission is to build the most intuitive, intelligent, and delightful discovery experience in wholesale: one that feels less like a search engine and more like a trusted merchant with an encyclopedic knowledge of what's in stock and what will sell.

We're looking for an experienced leader to lead our Discovery Experience team. In this role, you will partner closely with product, design, and machine learning teams to craft search and discovery experiences that are fast, relevant, and deeply personalized. You bring a strong point of view on what great search UX looks like, you believe AI is transforming how people find things, and you're excited to build at that frontier.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in engineering roles, with at least 3+ years in engineering leadership positions.
• Demonstrated experience working on search, discovery, recommendations, or related product domains — either on the UX/product side or the relevance/infrastructure side (ideally both).
• Hands-on familiarity with AI and ML-powered product development, including experience integrating or shipping LLM-based features, semantic search, or personalization systems.
• Strong product sensibility and communication skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical direction.
• Experience driving cross-functional initiatives and aligning engineering roadmaps with product and business priorities.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
